Well I like RL 7 for top loads with slightly heavier bullets. For the 300 grain cast though IMR 4227 seems to leave the bore free of leading and has a low recoil/muzzle blast factor while providing fine accuracy. My second favorite is Imr 4198 which will push the lead bullets up past the point where leading becomes a problem.


Leftists are intellectually vacant, but there is no greater pleasure than tormenting the irrational.
